'One of the things that we hear a lot in our world is when you have heroes that die like this, they die twice. The first time when they actually pass away and the second time that they die is when we stop speaking their names. If you ever look at all of our boards, it says 'always remember,' and we like to say 'never forget.' We want to do that because we want those stories passed along,' said David Lindsey, a Carry the Load nationwide events team member.

Erie Co. man finds vintage JET Radio record in Texas
An Erie County man was visiting family in Texas, only to discover a blast from the past from back home. Ed Rickrode was browsing an antique shop in Kerrville, Texas, when he stumbled upon an old record with a WJET label. City of Erie releases summer paving plans At first, he thought there must be a JET Radio in Texas, but then he read the words: '30 years of Erie Gold.' He purchased the record featuring personalities and songs from the 50s through the 80s for just $9. City of Erie pleased with first round of code sweeps 'And if you look on the back of the record, they have been produced by Jim Cook and they have Myron Jones, Frank Martin, and there's other ones I recognize the names on them. But when I first got it, I'm thinking Erie Gold, holy smokes that's from Erie, PA,' Rickrode said. Rickrode generously donated the record to us here at JET24, where we'll proudly display it.
